In dreams that I hold to my breast,
Love more tightly could not my heartstrings strain;
Only one with so gracious and patient a soul can
Vexations and my twice-sieged heart unfurl.
Evermore 'twixt cold winter and blessed sunshine,
Yours doth be the wind that moves me.
Of the moment breath inside me entered first, I have
Utterly wandered the earth; that sound of
My heart, whose drum deep within mybosom I could not make to
Arise beside me with the day, and
Rest with my countenance and the moon, as been the
Sought-for boon for which forfeit my life would become.
A well-worn traveler, you surely did not recognize that
I my small trinket would pursue; nor that in your possession it would be.
Lost was my heart, one half-a chord until
"I and you", "we" and "us", "together", "with one another" made harmony we did.
So you who traveled and I who wandered
Did not meet as virgin islands art found;
'Round knaves and witches hath our paths crossed,
And beggars and thieves our hearts have plundered.
"Nought have you gained from me," I say, though lesser words ring more true.
Grief many times hath plagued my search; but
Erred in their ways they were, and now the must meet fate.
Lost was my heart, one half-a chord until
Our melody joined as one we made
--Steps down a newborn path we take.
Reminisce as a storm those dark times were,
A nightmare amongst dreamless nights;
Man and woman, Ice and Fire, soul and heart we became, and
Only we together fit.
None can felt your frosty wisdom, nor can my
Everlasting flame outwit; as days pass
By we grow but stronger, and even now my
Regaling heart a beat will skip. The blame is
Yours, for you hold my treasure
And my debt in your love I must endure.
No thought of returning nor
Taking steps back; For your soul and my heart doth share the same beat.

Description:
...yeah...I was going for an old style. This is completely free verse, so don't expect any repetitive rhythm.
Anywho, I know its sort of confusing, but please give me any suggestions, ideas, insights, or opinions that you may have.
BEWARE--there are a more than a few metaphors.
NOTE--Please, it will be easier to read and understand if you go through this properly--pay attention to the PUNCTUATION, not the line arrangements.
